Dead, Dead or Deader: NoLimit City’s Take on the Frontier Theme

NoLimit City, a prominent gaming solutions provider, has made memorable contributions to less-treaded, gruesome slot themes. The studio keeps up with its reputation for brutality with its latest release, Dead, Dead or Deader.

The frightening prospect hinted by the slot name lays the foundation for the grim-looking frontier town NoLimit saunters into and sets up shop with a 5x3, 243 win-way matrix. Red and black spatters cover the grid, displaying the game’s minimal effort to appear friendly. Behind the Western action is a highly volatile math model rated 10/10 on the NoLimit City scale, accompanied by a maximum RTP of 96.09%.

Multiplying and Nudging Wilds

There is more to be triggered in Dead, Dead or Deader for up to $100 in bets beyond the symbol wins of up to 1.2x the stake. The studio builds on the wild with multipliers that vary depending on the reel on which the symbol lands. A wild on the leftmost reel features a 1x multiplier, while one on the following reel has a 2x multiplier, and so on.

NoLimit City also incorporates its beloved xNudge Wild feature, whose main trait is nudging other icons off the reel until it is fully visible. It also adds multipliers to winning combinations it helps to complete. Once it’s in view, the wild can trigger any of these events:

The Hanging: A guy at the bottom of the reel gets hanged and awards a respin with a sticky xNudge Wild.
The Deadlock: After the respin, the hanged guy can double the multiplier and award another respin.
The Dropout: The guy can fall out after getting hanged, resulting in no respin.

Scatters and Spins

Scatters land on any reel except the leftmost one. When two scatters are in view, they transform into multiplier wilds. Three scatters trigger Dead Spins, where xNudge Wilds are sticky for at least one more spin. Also, their multipliers double before the next spin plays.

A scatter on the slot’s leftmost reel upgrades the bonus to Deader Spins and adds two bonus spins. These spins have the same xNudge Wild as the Dead Spins, but the multiplier is tripled.

Bonus Thrills for a Price

NoLimit City caters to gamblers keen on increasing the odds in their favor with ante bets. The game guarantees a scatter on the second reel for 1.5x the bet and an xNudge Wild on any of the three center reels for 7x. The cost bumps up to 799x for three guaranteed xNudge Wilds. Dead Spins go for 99x the bet, while Deader Spins trigger for 499x.
